  • Ep. 18: All Hour Cymbals - Yeasayer (Pt. 2)
    Jun 6 2025

    The second half of the album feels more contemplative, trance-like, almost shoegaze-y at times, compared to the first half which was borderline dance music. Not a criticism as much as an observation. The album as a whole is very well-rounded, very unique, and unquestionably a must-listen.

  • Ep. 14: De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta (Pt. 2)
    May 12 2025

    Ryan and Troy dive deeper into the second half of the album, picking apart the messages and meaning behind the story that drives the concept. It's a dark but delightful insight into the band's creative process. The musicianship is second to none, and the composition is in a world of it's own. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala are genuine creative geniuses.
